European opulence is literally scandalous, for it has been founded on slavery, it’s been nourished with the blood of slaves and it comes directly from the soil and from the subsoil of that [colonized] underdeveloped world

I call upon Global South scholars & researchers to reconsider our presence in Western academia.
By now it is abundantly clear that Western nations & institutions incl. universities are fully committed to maintaining their colonialist domination over the world, at any cost.

I think NIMBYs in cities like SF and NYC think that there’s an infinite demand for housing in these cities, and so increased supply won’t impact prices. Similar to induced traffic. This is incorrect, especially with today’s economic environment and the white collar recession

i fear that many leftists neglect the strong/growing working class consciousness that is so apparent from commentary re: Palestine, the met gala, etc. just bc they're not ... quoting Marx.
even if the 'revolution' doesn't look like what you hoped - it is already happening.

Today we’re releasing a new model for creative work
Metalabel is a new space where creative people can come together to release, sell, and exhibit creative work in groups we call labels

We have to shift the culture of consumption.
In a world driven by relentless need, restraint is a form of resistance.
From brands through to consumers, we need to reposition our relationship with stuff and realise a future that is far more conscious, equitable, and positive.

Reminds me of a passage in 1 Thess that says "give thanks in all circumstances", which when rephrased as a question can be "How can I say thank you in this circumstance" versus "be thankful"
Emmanuelle retweeted
people who use the phrase "in the real world" are pretty much always talking about their limited concept and experience of reality rather than the actual real world, which is incomprehensibly massive, complex, and full of exceptions to every rule, and markets for everything

what if the spirit of occupy wall street and 2021 gamestock could be combined?
I think the future of business may look like grassroots policy campaigns mixed with financial underdog games
